No Islamophobes at Mosques and Miracles
No Islamophobes at Mosques and Miracles “Where are the
“Voices of Peace?”
Contrary to statements made by organisers of the “Voices of Peace” conference, the Mosques and Miracles conference speakers and attendees are anything but Islamophobes.
Glyn Carpenter of Vision Network of New Zealand, who has helped promote the Mosques and Miracles conferences, says “the conference is essentially a reminder to Christians of the basic teaching to love others. Certainly the speakers are sharing from their considerable experience of Islam, which includes living in Islamic countries, about the diversity within Islam, and issues to be considered.
It is ironic and concerning that organisers of a conference called “Voices of Peace” would use terms like “NZ Islamophobes”, “Aussie extremists”, and “far-right Islamophobic idealogues” about this conference.
